Accelerating Dynamical Fermion Computations using the Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo (RHMC) Algorithm with Multiple Pseudofermion Fields
read the original abstract
There has been much recent progress in the understanding and reduction of the computational cost of the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm for Lattice QCD as the quark mass parameter is reduced. In this letter we present a new solution to this problem, where we represent the fermionic determinant using (n) pseudofermion fields, each with an (\nth) root kernel. We implement this within the framework of the Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo (RHMC) algorithm. We compare this algorithm with other recent methods in this area and find it is competitive with them.

Higher-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon $g-2$ from lattice QCD
Lattice QCD yields the NLO HVP contribution to muon g-2 as -101.57(26)stat(54)syst ×10^{-11}, 1.4σ below the 2025 White Paper estimate and twice as precise.

Testing machine-learned distributions against Monte Carlo data for the QCD chiral phase transition
Conditional MAFs interpolate QCD chiral phase structure across coupling, mass, and volume, reproducing reweighting while cutting required ensembles despite bias near transitions.

$f_K/f_{\pi}$ in iso-symmetric QCD and the CKM matrix unitarity
Lattice QCD result for f_K/f_π in isoQCD gives |V_us|/|V_ud| consistent with CKM unitarity once isospin and QED effects are included.

Hybrid calculation of hadronic vacuum polarization in muon g-2 to 0.48\%
Lattice QCD on finer grids yields a_μ^LO-HVP = 715.1(3.4)×10^{-10}, producing a standard-model prediction for a_μ that differs from experiment by only 0.5 sigma.
